Autocutsel tracks changes in the X server's cutbuffer and CLIPBOARDselection. When the CLIPBOARD is changed, it updates the cutbuffer.When the cutbuffer is changed, it owns the CLIPBOARD selection.The cutbuffer and CLIPBOARD selection are always synchronized.

Autocutsel is mostly useful with window managers since most desktopenvironments today include their own clipboard managers.If you dont use a display manager like KDM you can use autocutselby adding an entry to your $HOME/.xinitc file using the -fork option.

Some softwares (like OpenOffice Writer) have trouble when the PRIMARYselection is requested before the mouse button is released.As a workaround, you can run autocutsel with the "-buttonup" optionand it will only get the selection when the first mouse button is not pressed.
